"City Impression @ Tsim Sha Tsui" @ City Gallery, Central

"City Impression @ Tsim Sha Tsui" is an exhibition to showcase the current and the old Tsim Sha Tsui in Lego bricks.

Impression of Tsim Sha Tsui in 2011, which is not very different from that in 2013. From left to right: Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier, Harbour City, the Clock Tower, Hong Kong Cultural Centre and Hong Kong Space Museum. The tall grey building at the back is the new block of Peninsular Hong Kong. The big rubber duck will visit HK during May-Jun 2013. Only one 2011 photo here as you can still explore the scene in real now.














The followings are photos of the impressions of Tsim Sha Tsui in 1970. There were quite many junks in Hong Kong. Now, you can charter a similar one for party. Pls note the big rubber duck was not yet born at the time.














The current clock tower was a part of Tsim Sha Tsiu Railway Station.














View of the old Tsim Shai Tsui Railway Station from another angle. Note the type of buses are replaced by modern and more eco-friendly models.














The 2 boats in the water reminded us Hong Kong was once a fishing village. The rickshaws on the left are disappeared. You may rent some through Hong Kong Tourism Board. The 5-flag pole on the right was once a popular meeting point. Now, nobody would bother to wait somebody there because of heavy traffic.
